A member asked:
I close air in my left cheek (mouth) and push pressure. results in my left ear popping. ive had ear fullness and pressure for about 2-3 weeks. very little fluid usually in the morning in only that ear. infection? antibiotics help? thank you?

What you describe is simply a Eustachian tube (between ear and throat) that is partially closed, but opens with the maneuver. This allows air to enter the middle ear. It is of little significance. This often occurs with allergies or a cold. By itself it is not an infection.
